Arborea + Guests @ Oliver Peel session # 17 Paris Feb 16th 2010

Very unusual day for an Oliver Peelsession, we're in the middle of the week just a couple of days after Rivkah played the very same place.At Oliver's we rock ( sorry... Folk ) not only on fridays or saturdays night.

First to play are Dave Olliffe & Frederic D' Oberland ( & Sandra on harmonium).Laid back acoustic & Electric guitars and a bit of harmonium thrown in, "ambiance music" should we call it with a terrific sound.Perfect for a movie soundtrack.

After a intermission with red & white wine + sandwiches & cakes( courtesy of our host Cécile Peel).It's time for Arborea to grace the improvised stage @ Oliver's.Different country , they're from Maine, USA and different music.Much more roots, original American folk( protest) songs, the beginning is really quiet on acoustic guitar or banjo for this couple-duet then the electric guitar kicks in ( hope the neighbours won't complain ) for more "noisy"songs.That was their last show on their European tour and they seemed to have enjoy their trip in France. We did too... great double act.
